Been thinking the same thing all day Al, as I do have two good corners, 2x6 studs, and thick sheetrock.
Going to keep my eyes open for scrounging high density plywood.

Voice coils Scott, just being over powered. . The Crites 1526C's are modeled after the K-33 woof. A higher power woof wouldbenice if they could match up to the cab...

A good horn system is all the speaker you will ever need.

I have a few things I have gathered up for a similar set of speakers. Corner horns, I have the corners. I just cannot imagine having just on set of speakers in there though. Just one set that I would listen to all the time. Maybe I will grow up one day. As I said, I am cobbling the parts together. We will see. Very Nice Lee.

Ok. If I get some time I'll pull T/S parameters from the K33 and see if there is anything similar spec'd out there but with higher power handling.

Eminence Kappa15C is supposed to work well in K horns and can handle much more power

Dare I say MDF? It's not great stuff, but it is dense!

MDF works great, they are used in many of the speakers built today
Was looking on Craigslist today. Lots of very inexpensive thin birch plywood for sale cheap. Nothing thick and more than 8 ply. Thought was, perhaps bonding it to MDF.
I do hate cutting MDF though. I'll continue to watch. Lots of good stuff stuck away in warehouses that gets cleared out from time to time

Mine were built with 1/2 " marine grade plywood.
Scratch built a set of Soniphase S6's for me out of 1/2 Baltic birch I think. Mark , what was that stuff? Too bad you dont have access to that big laser cutter....man...that was some of the best fit I've seen..

Those were made from 19 mm 13 ply Finnish birch, used in the diecutting industry. The laser was holding tolerance of .002 which made assembly a breeze

Me too!
Awesome! The sandwich construction would simplify and aid making the joints overlap perfectly. What a great idea!
